High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic over the basin will change little through Sun evening. The ridge will then begin to slide ESE through Sun evening as a cold front approaches the Texas coast. The front will move over the NW Gulf Mon afternoon. From Mon night through Tue afternoon a stationary front will be oriented E to W over the NE Gulf to weak low pressure near south-central Louisiana. The cold front will extend from the low southwestward to the SW Gulf at that time. The stationary front will transition to a warm front that lifts north of the Gulf late on Tue, and the cold front will weaken as it reaches the central Gulf Wed, the southeastern Gulf Thu and to just east of the area by late Thu night. ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN 55W AND 64W... High pressure north of the region along with low pressure over northern Colombia will continue to support strong trade winds across the central and portions of the SW Caribbean through Wed. Gale force winds near the coast of Colombia will continue through early on Mon, then pulse at night and into the early morning hours through Wed. Fresh to strong northeast winds will continue across the remainder of the Caribbean and Atlantic Passages through Mon. Large seas will remain over the tropical Atlantic waters east of the Windward Islands through Mon night. ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS... High pressure will remain over the area into early next week. Fresh to strong E winds are expected across the waters south of 22N through Mon night. A cold front will move over the far NW waters early Mon evening afternoon, reach from near 31N67W to 28N74W early on Tue while becoming stationary to south-central Florida. The cold front will shift E of 65W Wed, while the stationary front lifts back to the N as a warm front in response to developing low pressure off the coast of the Carolinas. The low pressure will quickly track NE Wed through Thu night pushing a strong cold front across the waters NNE of the Bahamas. This front will be preceded and followed by fresh to strong winds and building seas. $$ .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by telephone: .GULF OF MEXICO...
